i don't think that's where we want to go in america. >> the department of defense has called for quotas, calling them diversity metrics and promotions will be denied to male officers if they don't support diversity metrics. regardless of your intent, zoe, or what is being said today, this is how it's going to play out. to have what is called a critical mass or what general dempsey described as significant counter of women, large numbers. this isn't about individual rights. it's about group rights, pushing the diversity agenda and using our military to promote a social agenda and put lives at greater risk. >> let me ask you, elaine, about these comments by senator john mccain, certainly a war hero. he thinks allow iing women to partake in this way is a great idea. he says they should be recognized for their service for the military. how is it -- this is a man who speaks from a wealth of experience. so, what do you say to that? >> right. well, i agree with the last part. women are promoted at rates equal to or faster than men. it's been that way for decades. but surely he knows better. he
